Today was a single day of IRTA testing on the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit. We remind you that the IRTA tests do not count towards the five days of private testing authorized by the regulations, but that did not prevent the majority of Ducatis from skipping a Catalan circuit where they had already carried out tests. private testing a few weeks ago.
The majority of times were achieved in the morning, but while Maverick Vinales took advantage of the last minutes of the session to improve his leadership and his qualifying time in 1'44.437, two tenths better, Marc Márquez used his penultimate lap to record a 1'44.071 which he would have placed just next to Dani Pedrosa on the starting grid of the Catalan Grand Prix…
Only almost three tenths compared to his best time in Q2, but an improvement all the same, which only Maverick Vinales, Tito Rabat, Pol Espargaro et Sam Lowes managed to do today.
Tomorrow and Wednesday, KTM will carry out private tests on this same circuit, and it is rumored that the Movistar team Yamaha would have canceled tests planned in Aragon to join the Austrian team and continue trying to develop the capricious M1 2017…
Danilo Petrucci took advantage of this test to apologize for his gap at the start of the Grand Prix which had considerably hampered Marc Marquez...
